Cat’s Hat Raises Money For Manna Thanks To Elly Saye From Jay

December 18, 2010

The Manna Hat Auction conducted by Cat Country 98.7 raised a record  $1,250 for Manna Food Pantries in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties thanks to a lady from Jay.

Last year the Cat Country 98.7 Manna Hat raised $540, but this year’s bid from Elly Saye from Jay was more than double that amount.

“I feel privileged to have won this auction. I would like to thank Cat Country for doing this to help the Manna Food Pantries. I am making this donation in the memory of my father in law David E Saye who went to be with the Lord on October 29, 2010. He loved to give and help others. I will finish with a Merry Christmas to All, and find it in your heart to do something for someone needy this holiday season,” Saye said.

Country artists like CMA Male Vocalist of the Year Blake Shelton helped out by autographing the special hat that was put on the eBay auction website this week. ACA Artist of the Year Carrie Underwood, a second time signer, said, “it is a great way to help feed the hungry”. The hat was signed by other big names like Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bently, Brooks and Dunn, Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert and more. The signatures were personally gathered by morning show host Brent Lane, who said, “the artists all signed it enthusiastically”.

“Cat Country 98 7’s mission is to help our community in every way that we can. All the artists who were involved in this should be applauded for their contributions as well,” said Cat Country owner Dave Hoxeng.

One hundred percent of the auction proceeds will be donated by Cat Country to the Manna Food Pantries before Christmas.
